The growth of digital talents in Indonesia birthed a collaboration program between YCAB Foundation and Garena called Guru Digital in the year 2020. This year, the initiative flourished and bloomed into Siswa Digital scholarship, which is a programming and coding training for selected students from teachers who joined the Guru Digital program.
Students from this scholarship program learned to complete a series of training and self-study sessions on how to think with the design thinking method and get to know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript programming languages. Soon after, they were prompted to use their newly gained knowledge and translate them into a simple website.
Coming from various areas in Indonesia, namely Jakarta, Bogor, Cilacap, Kebumen, Sidoarjo, and Bali, fifteen participants with the best outcome were chosen and granted an intensive Coding Bootcamp for 4 months.
Congratulations to all student participants who advanced to Coding Bootcamp. May we use this to congratulate all participants on their transcendent accomplishment. We believe that the path ahead is considerably brighter with Siswa Digital Scholarship programme being one of the foundations of their future.
